Restrictions

Struggling competition of imperfection, Fighting to break a straight line curb. The constant pounding results in frustration of knowing in truth, nothings changing. Mundane organization that’s forcing conformity, Leading to loss of creative minds. Holding the stubbornness that won’t allow acceptance, like attempting to destroy a regrettable memory. Needing to show the obvious difference, For who notices unchanging steadiness. Individuality of every letter, every word, every mark, Personality hidden, for it can’t press through.
